They do not trace back their political and legal values to <i><a href="/wiki/Magna_Carta" title="Magna Carta">Magna Carta</a></i>. They are all, in her eyes, collectivists rather than freedom-loving individuals. It is all the more surprising therefore that having supported British membership of the <a href="/wiki/European_Economic_Community" title="European Economic Community">European Economic Community</a> during the 1970s and having helped to deepen that market during her time as prime minister, she now thinks Britain ought to leave that ghastly grouping, run as it is by bureaucrats and foreigners. To be critical of European countries and of the European institutions is fine: There is plenty to criticise and to change. But in this book Thatcher goes beyond that, arguing in essence that Europe is always to be distrusted because it is full of Europeans and in her lifetime Europeans have always caused trouble."<sup id="cite_ref-Bill_Emmott_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Bill_Emmott-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p><a href="/wiki/Francis_Maude" title="Francis Maude">Francis Maude</a>, writing for the <i><a href="/wiki/New_Statesman" title="New Statesman">New Statesman</a></i>, said, "Thatcher's latest and, she says, last book is not really what it says. Its title suggests a manual for practitioners of statecraft, a sort of <a href="/wiki/Machiavelli" class="mw-redirect" title="Machiavelli">Machiavelli</a>'s The Prince for our times. Such practitioners will find Statecraft well worth reading, as will all those with an interest in international affairs, because this is an account of Thatcher's views about the world, its recent histories and what should be done. It is broad in scope, detailed in analysis and, as you would expect, forthright in prescription. And prescription is in plentiful supply."<sup id="cite_ref-Francis_Maude_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Francis_Maude-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Michael Collins has written in <i><a href="/wiki/Contemporary_Review" class="mw-redirect" title="Contemporary Review">Contemporary Review</a></i>, "Statecraft is aimed as much at decision-makers in the US as at a domestic readership. In fact fewer than a fifth of the book's magisterial and incisive survey of current world affairs is concerned with the European Union. Most of it is composed of observations derived from meetings with world leaders and briefings from well-placed sources. Lady Thatcher takes a typically no-nonsense approach to the realities of power politics and warns that battlefield nuclear weapons will be used in the foreseeable future. Yet 'since the end of the Cold War' she argues, 'the West has let down its guard'.
